Robert Sarvis on Drugs

Libertarian platform: Legalize marijuana

Robert Sarvis got 6.5 percent of the 2013 vote for Virginia governor as the Libertarian candidate. Sarvis now says that he wants to run for U.S. Senate, challenging Sen. Mark R. Warner, D-Va. "I finally got the go-ahead from my wife and told the
Libertarian Party folks that I am going to run," Sarvis said in an interview.

In 2013, Sarvis was vastly outspent by the two major-party candidates but managed to get 6.5 percent of the vote.
Libertarians will nominate their candidate at a party convention in Richmond on Feb. 8. Sarvis said he will run on a similar platform as last year, including small government,
a reduction of spending, legalization of marijuana and allowing same-sex couples to marry.
